A mother from Alabama hit the headlines this week after she named and shamed her daughters on Facebook for deplorable public conduct and I’ve to be honest here, her story didn’t have the desired effect on me. Imploring the woman offended by her daughter’s actions to come forward so that she could attempt to remedy the situation, Kyesha Smith Wood certainly showed us how to parent, and how to...

I often joke that 'say please' and 'say thank you' will be on my gravestone as I say it to Jack (nearly five) and Holly (nearly three) at least 10 times a day. It’s actually become a part of me and my every day mantra! I really believe that it doesn't cost anything to smile, look someone in the eye and say thank you very much, to show that you are grateful and appreciative. I...

My son has been experiencing night terrors for approximately three months and I’ll be honest, I think I’m more horrified by the episodes than anyone else. It’s like living with a ticking time bomb who has the potential to wake up and scream bloody murder at any stage between 8pm and 7.30 in the morning. My heart flutters like a bird trapped in a cage and beads of sweat break out at the nape...

Getting out - sounds like an easy enough task. WRONG. When you have a new baby nothing about getting out is easy. It should officially go down as one of life’s hardest tasks. I found this to be one of the biggest challenges in the first few weeks, I recall saying this before but trust me there’s definitely more than one challenge as a new Mum. I remember getting appointments for health checks...

Dare we open up a can of worms by talking about the sensitive topic of a mother’s age? Sure, why not! Nowadays, women are starting their families later and later in life, with mid- to late-thirties being the optimum age for so many. Career, financial security, not ready to settle or haven’t met the right person - they are all very valid reasons not to pop a sprog out right now. But while it is...

My six-year-old daughter Grace has recently joined a drama class. Many of the exercises encouraged by her teacher involve imitating classmates and mimicking the actions of various people in an effort to show children how simple it is to slip into someone else’s shoes. Unfortunately for me, this particular exercise has leaked into our family life and Grace has taken to imitating my words and...

Anyone who saw the video clip of 3-year-old Kathryn’s reaction to the news she was about to come a big sister will have undoubtedly chuckled and cooed over the innocence of children. For anyone who hasn’t seen this snapshot into family life, let me quickly fill you in. Upon hearing she was about to gain a younger brother or sister, the adorable little girl looked relatively nonplussed, stared...

I gave up my job when I became pregnant fifteen years ago and since then I have devoted all my time and effort into looking after my four children, running my home and agonising over whether I made the right decision at the dawn of the new millennium. Up until then, I knew the stresses of the workplace as well as anyone else, and yet the fact I apparently ‘bowed out’ of the rat race to become...

The other day, my daughter Lucy’s pet fish died. There I was happily cleaning out the fish tank and when I went to put the fish back in, I noticed it wasn’t moving. At all. Yikes! I’ve never had a fish before so I immediately went into panic mode. I didn’t want Lucy to be upset, as I just couldn’t face the drama. Plus we were due to drive to Tipperary that afternoon and I would have had...
